Gary Glitter has finally been found guilty of historical child sex offences. As we definitely needed a verdict for that.

The 70-year-old, real name Paul Gadd has been convicted of one count of attempted rape, four counts of indecent assault and one count of sexual intercourse with a girl under the age of 13.

The paedo even had the cheek to blow kisses at the courtroom as he was led to the cells. I’m assuming he expected the outcome.

The ‘singer’ was accused of sneaking into a 10-year-old girl’s bed and attempting to rape her in 1975, four counts of indecently assaulting a girl under 13 in 1977, one count of forcing the same girl to drink alcohol, then a final count of unlawful sex with her.

That final offence carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. But I don’t think that matters anyway, he’ll most likely die behind bars.

He will be sentenced on Feb 27. They probably won’t be taking any bets.
